Ethernet port N (where N = 1 to 4)
The total number of frames on the port for which transmission was abandoned because they experienced a late collision. Such a frame:
- Was any data or MAC control frame destined for any unicast, broadcast or multicast address
- Was any size
- Experienced a collision later than 512 bit-times into the transmission. There may have been up to 15 previous (non-late) collisions which had previously required the transmission to be re-attempted. The Late Collisions statistic dominates over the single-, multiple- , and excessive- collision statistics. If a late collision occurs, the frame will not be counted in any of these other three statistics.
CRC errors have no effect upon this statistic.
